Installing the Wall Brackets

The following procedure describes how to install wall brackets on the Acme Packet 1100 for use in mounting the chassis to a wall or other vertical surface.

Prerequisites

• To prevent overheating, ensure that there is enough room for appropriate airflow on either side of the chassis and that there is adequate ventilation in the room in which the chassis is being installed.
• Ensure that the wall or vertical surface on which you will mount the chassis is strong enough to support the weight of the Acme Packet 1100.
• Ensure that there is enough room to access the front and back panel of the chassis for purposes of reviewing front/back panel LEDs and inserting/removing cables from the back panel.
• Prepared surface on which to install the wall bracket with pre-drilled holes for installation of screws.

  To install wall brackets on the Acme Packet 1100:

1. Locate the following components:

   • Wall brackets (2)

   • #6-32 5/16” screws with square cone washers (4)

2. On the right side of the chassis, align the holes in the wall bracket with the holes at the base of the chassis as shown.

   Figure 3-6 Wall Bracket Mount Points on the Right Side of the Acme Packet 1100

   
3. Insert a #6-32 5/16” screw and washer into each of the holes and then use a Phillips screwdriver to hand-tighten each screw to secure the wall bracket to the chassis.
4. On the left side of the chassis, align the holes in the wall bracket with the holes at the base of the chassis as shown.

5. Insert a #6-32 5/16” screw and washer into each of the holes and then use a Phillips screwdriver to hand-tighten each screw to secure the wall bracket to the chassis.
6. Ensure that there is enough room to access the front and back panel of the chassis for purposes of reviewing front/back panel LEDs and inserting/removing cables from the back panel.
7. Ensure that there is enough room on either side of the chassis for adequate airflow to prevent overheating.
8. The illustration below shows relevant dimensions for use in preparing the surface on which to install the Acme Packet 1100 chassis. Pre-drill holes to accommodate the screws, washers and anchors for each bracket that will secure the chassis bracket to the surface. Insert customer-supplied screws/washers/anchors into each hole in the bracket to secure the chassis to the mounting surface.
9. Ensure that the wall bracket screws are tight and that the Acme Packet 1100 is securely fastened to the wall.
